I begin with my sister Phyllis May Barber aged now 87 or any more close relatives named Barber from prewar North St. Gosport  or any decendents of James William William jnr. or Jean I had to leave the family home in 1936 to come to Kent and have had no contact since that time I presume they were bombed out in the early 40s they had lived at North St during 20s/ 30s and before that always close around the harbour  V .Barber (Added 15th Feb 2009)

- I saw your web site and noticed that you were posting a number of requests from people in search of relatives. Well if I may ask myself it would be fantastic if you could post my search for a lost family member.

I am in search of any information on a baby boy born on the 7th of December 1931 at home. His birth name was Nigel Anthony Barrington Barr. His mother was Mabel Ethel Barr (Nee Ridout) and his Father was Herbert Charles Barr. They married in Gosport in 1926 and were resident at No 4 Suffolk Cottages, Alver Road, Gosport.

I think baby Nigel may have been placed for adoption?  If anyone knows of Nigel or knows what happened to him if he was placed up for adoption - any help or information would be fantastic for the family. If you feel any further details may help my search please let me know? Many thanks in advance. Best Regards Stuart J Barr

The Following Has been put on to show what can be done. The Request was put on the Gosport.info Blog on the 19th February the reply was received on the 26th juast 10 days later -the quickest response that I know was 5 days.

The St Vincent Local History Club is preparing a book about the history of the Gosport Railway Station. They would like to include a poem about Gosport Railway from around the 1970's by Louise Farquharson, but are unable to unless they can contact her. If you are or know Louise, please contact me at ian@gosport.info .

I've googled myself and found your request to use my Poem about Gosport Station from about 1992 not the 1970's. I am pleased to give my permission for you to use my poem and also very flattered that you should want to want to include it. Please send me details of your publication so I can get a copy when it comes out.
